About
This event of the Fraternal Government Relations Coalition (FGRC) featured Fraternity and Sorority PAC President Sarah Lindsay, National Panhellenic Conference Chairman Jean Mrasek, and NIC Chairman Buddy Cote. The FGRC leaders covered the fraternity/sorority legislative agenda in Washington for 2015. Among the topics discussed was: IX For ALL, a new legislative coalition the NIC/NPC are leading with four national fraternities (Alpha Tau Omega, Kappa Alpha Order, Phi Kappa Psi, and Sigma Nu) to address the complex problem of campus sexual assault, system-wide suspensions, volunteer liability, and preservation of the existing Title IX single-sex exemption for our organizations. The call also covered how comprehensive tax reform can impact the fraternity/sorority world through preservation of the full value of the charitable giving deduction and passage of the Collegiate Housing and Infrastructure Act.
